One of these days I'm going to try my hand at building an acoustic guitar...until that day comes, I'll keep dabbling along the learning curve.
This was a blast, even with the ups & downs...ups are, that it sounds good, downs were too many to list main ones being, I burnt up both the piezos
by using too high of a setting on my soldering iron and it looks like both of the used pots for the volume & tone are no good..oh well, I by-passed it all & went straight from the input jack to the magnetic pick-up...now I just need to break in these new strings so they'll stay in tune long enough to post a sound sample...don't get excited, I'm not going to try singing
Here's a quick finished{for now} shot I don't know where or how, but it seems I missed a step or two in the finishing of the headstock...probably forgot the BLO
and here's a video link of my adventure for anyone who's interested.
Edit: forgot to add...this was made from a junk picked cedar chest, & some of Larry's chocolate
